I don't 100% get how it all works, so that probably sounds dumb...
But I'm trying to figure it out and understand what the fuck is going on with this whole NFT thing.
It's leagues beyond exciting.
I put out a Google alert to email me whenever "crypto pets" gets mentioned anywhere, and I got an interesting alert the other day...
Twas about this collection on OpenSea...

So people are making their own crypto pets art/collections and trying to become a hot new thing...
Which could totally work.
But I think a lot of the attraction of crypto pets and digital pets in general has been the platform upon which you collect them and interact with the community.
Take Neopets for example... wow. What an absolute internet crack fueled run of fucking niche greatness their legacy has been.

Then for example, the collectable aspect of gigapets. People want these 'pets' housed on platforms that are stand-alone and identifiable. Brands. Catchy names and phrases.
So of course starting collections on sites like OpenSea and Solsea is a great idea and absolutely should be done...
But the goal is to stand out and be brandable and therefore recognizable, and be something you can tell people about word-of-mouth and have them be able to easily find it.
That's why I think domain names are always going to be a very important part of the internet... that's never gonna change.
